I didn’t have the right type of weight after watching this, but I did have a Walmart Drop Shot tungsten weight. I just took spit ring pliers and opened up the line pinch into a big closed ring. It works in a “pinch”.
I watched this video and decided to rig one of my new rods I just got up for this technique. Was out today fishing in the middle of the day and not getting much action. About 20 minutes before I was leaving I remembered I had this setup with me and decided to give it a shot. In 10 minutes I had 3 LM. Thanks Mike for the setup. Worked great.
After seeing your free rig video last year, I used it with much success fishing Zman Mag Fattyz and Palmetto Bugz for largemouth up to 6 lbs on a Twin Cities lake. Was especially fun when I dropped it right into a big tangled lay down, they couldn't stand it! I did have to use 20lb Berkley 100% flouro for leader to braid on casting rod, otherwise I'd have never gotten the big bass out of the tree. And I'm cheap so used a simple dipsey weight on the rig. Thanks for all your tips!
You are great Mike, please, please make a video how to organize my tackle box !! I ´M so tire to carry the whole fishing store in my boat !!! Show us how to make it light weight and simple best regards from Mexico !!
Hi Mike I was wondering if you was to put the bobber stop on after the weight if it would have the same action? I fish in grass so was thinking having the weight stop about 10in from the lure. I’m thinking rigging it this way you can set it at a constant depth.
Ok This might be a stupid question but whatever What keeps the hook from sliding off all the way to the weight and then if the weight is like the tagged one you used slide right off Do I need a weight with an eyelets? Or do the stoppers hold it enough? Thanks
Hey mike, just an fyi. There is scammers using your subscribers. Claiming we win something. And then scam begin. Be warned. Message me for more info I’ll send you the scoop

I’ve been using unpegged bullet weights and bang stikz to kind of achieve this.... so glad you shared this rig bro👍👍👍👍👍

Mike, you are the best! Really enjoys this video. Can't wait to try it
You know it's gonna be good when he looks around first! Thanks Mike!
What a cool technique. I have never seen that before and will definitely give it a try
Top tier education Mike! The only thing better than this, would be a spot on your boat! Never give up!
Never heard of the floating free rig? Should I try it on my channel?
You are great Mike, please, please make a video how to organize my tackle box !! I ´M so tire to carry the whole fishing store in my boat !!! Show us how to make it light weight and simple
best regards from Mexico !!
Any soft plastic baits that can floating and those are best to go with Free Rig or Carolina Rig. I doubt Texas Rig work well.
Genius. I needed this last weekend. Thanks!
This is exciting information for this fisherlady. Thanks Mike.
Thank you Mike!!! I am definitely going to be using this technique. Ordering the things i need now.
love it can't wait to try this here in N.J. thanks for the tip.
Loving the shirt 😍👌 looks like an old hot rod Roddy Piper shirt from back in the early 90s
Amazing technique. I always appreciate your content and vast knowledge. Can’t wait to implement this. It’s kinda like a finesse Carolina rig
Wow! Can’t wait to try this on river small jaws. Thanks so much Mike!

Appreciate everything you do brother

Ok
This might be a stupid question but whatever
What keeps the hook from sliding off all the way to the weight and then if the weight is like the tagged one you used slide right off
Do I need a weight with an eyelets? Or do the stoppers hold it enough?
Thanks
How do I know that plastic lures are buoyant?
I don’t see information on packaging.
Could you use 2 smaller bullet weights if you didn’t have a cylinder weight like that one from VMC? Do those water bugs work well on a Carolina Rig?
Mike, Can you tell us about that sharpening wheel in the background?
Mike Great Information and Great Instructions
So its basically like a santee cooper rig i but instead of a float you use the bait as the float
Winter spring summer fall Ike will catch em all! 🤣
dude this is awesome. My production needs to keep up. haha
Looks like a great rig would that work with the weed guarded neko hooks? the grass on lake Hopatcong is serious
It's about time bass fisherman learn how use a walleye fisherman's modified Lindy rig
So its an adjustable tokyo rig with light wire hook???
Mike when are you going to go back to fishing the Streets of Philadelphia? We need some more sewer fish
What about a wacky rig on the free rig could it work
You should have been a teacher! Can't wait to try it
Thanks Phillip! Hope it helps!
yeahhhhhh if VMC could hurry up with that, that would be great hahaha
Gotta try this
you so crazy! Now! LOL Love you man!
Love you bro!! Thank you!!
Perfectionist~
Dang, I’m excited to try this out!
Kick it up a notch Mike with the zappu pin drop and the Hayabusa 202
Finesse Carolina rig without leader nice
Mike are you iconelli or laconelli? because at Facebook i saw a recuest from Mike laconelli

Need a tank demo
Put it in the tank. I'd like to see it float.

Modified Lina Rig hMmmmmm 🧐
If you use a peg on a free rig then it’s called the prison rig
And then! Throw on a roll of toilet paper, and some ice cream sandwiches. Remember to finesse it. Jk I love this channel!

Another 20m video from ikie when it only takes 2m
